Parish Directory
Due to recent inquiries and input from various St. Thomas Aquinas parishioners, Fr. Tom has requested that the pastoral council look into available options for creating an updated version of our parish directory. It has been six years since our last directory and the prospect of a new directory is a welcome endeavor. As some of you may recall, the last undertaking to produce a directory was fraught with difficulties; in the end, many parishioners did not even receive a copy. During a discussion of the topic at a recent pastoral council meeting the talent and abilities of our own parish community were highlighted. Perhaps the new parish directory is an undertaking that could be performed by our own parish community? If anyone reading this announcement has any thoughts, insights, suggestions, or are interested in investing their time or talent on this project, please contact Fr. Tom or any of our current pastoral council members.

Dear Friends,
Four and a half years ago Iasked you to pray for my 17 year old granddaughter, Claire Fontanella, who had a very serious melanoma on her back. After surgery and oral chemotherapy, Claire has been cancer-free. This week at her annual oncology CT exam they discovered two small masses in her lung and an enlarged lymph node in her chest. They will be doing extensive test on her in the next few days. I am asking once again if you will pray along with our family that the test results show that she is still cancer-free.
